> Garry Kasparov tells us the top commercial computers are playing at > 2600. I suspect he is an authority on the matter. He may be authority, but he was also under contract with Intel by which (at least the public portion) he couldn't make statements reflecting negatively on Intel. Since the top commercial programs are all designed for Intel CPUs, saying that they're weak would at go against spirit, if not the letter of the contract. In any case, I'd bet that if you give him a program to play against for a week to get its quirks and style, he would be able to beat it (at slower playing rates, at least) in every game (provided you also include a financial incentive for his score), which he wouldn't be able with a human 2600 GM, or even a human of 2400 player. At blitz, yes (it's even higher), humans are too error prone at few seconds per move.
